Top 10 best websites to explore in the Deep Web

The Deep Web together with the Dark Web may seem like a scary place to go in. But legends about the Deep Web have awakened the curiosity of many people interested in the content that these non-indexed websites can offer, especially if they are not visible for search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.

Although it is known that many Dark Web sites are owned by cyber pirates who promote illegal content, it is possible to find very interesting sites in the Deep Web with legal content that you will hardly find available in the Clearnet. Take a look at some of the best Deep Web websites to start your journey.

How to access the best Deep Web websites

Before starting to explore this hidden world, we must mention that in this article we do not include the links to all the websites mentioned below since some of them change their address constantly to avoid being shut down.

To access the Deep Web it is necessary that you use special search engines. The safest and the best developed so far is Tor (The Onion Router).

Tor is a free software and open network that provides anonymity and security to Deep Web users through its DuckDuckGo browser. By doing a quick search on DuckDuckGo you can find the current addresses of the websites you are interested in.

Tor is supported by Windows, Mac, Linux / Unix, and Android. You can download Tor here and learn more about it.

After this brief introduction, it´s time to see the best Deep Web websites that will keep you entertained while exploring the invisible side of the internet.

This site proclaims the liberation of scientific knowledge for all. Its database contains the fabulous amount of 70 million documents based on scientific research. This means that on Sci-Hub you can find 99% of the academic articles that exist in the world. Sci-Hub promotes the right of everybody to have access to scientific knowledge regardless of their social status, ethnic origin, and place of birth. For Sci-Hub, the scientific information should not be blocked by copyright laws since it limits the development of knowledge and makes profit of something that belongs to humanity.

You can unblock scientific documents using Sci-Hub platform. Find the article of your interest, copy paste its DOI (string of letters and numbers used to identify permanently an article or document in the web) or the URL in the search box of a specific article. If the document is locked, Sci-Hub will unlock it after asking to complete a captcha.

As expected, the Sci-Hub page is under constant attack and regularly changes its location on the Deep Web. To know the current location of the site, we suggest following its official Twitter account

Although you do not believe it, there are still reliable newsrooms and one of them is ProPublica. The content of this site is provided by 75 independent journalists dedicated to exposing the abuses of power of the government, companies and any institution involved in corruption cases.

ProPublica was created in 2007 and its journalistic work has made them winners of four Pulitzer Prizes, and has also helped to stop laws against freedom of expression in the United States.

The portal has thematic sections on politics, business, environment, technology, health, immigration, and education. ProPublica is a non-profit journalism agency and is supported by the donations made by its readers.

There is no better way to manage your cryptocurrencies than doing it anonymously. Blockchain, the popular tool for saving and transferring bitcoins, also has its .onion version.

With Blockchain, you can make your transactions and investments on hidden websites with confidentiality. The best of all is that the site of this virtual bitcoin wallet has an HTTPS certificate for greater security of its users. Blockchain also offers real-time statistics regarding current cryptocurrency value, graphs on mining, and the registration of all your transactions.

WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks still the most important source of uncensored political documents.

When Julian Assange unveiled the famous WikiLeaks papers he put the spotlights of the media on the Dark Web. Although many governments and agencies have tried to discredit WikiLeaks, it remains the most important source of uncensored political documents. Even though WikiLeaks can be visited using a conventional browser, it is necessary to use Tor to share a document from this platform. This assures that documents will be automatically encrypted while uploading.

Maybe you did not know, but Facebook also has its dark version on the Deep Web which you can only access using Tor. Although this version of Facebook does not give you total anonymity, it offers you a higher level of privacy in your communication through its platform. It also gives the possibility for users who live in countries where Facebook is censored to connect to the social network.
